Paul King updated GROOVY-9664:
------------------------------
Summary: Groovy 3.0 does not work with Groovy 2 code using
groovy.xml.XmlUtil (was: Groovy 3.0 does not work with Groovy 2 code using
XmlUtil)
> Groovy 3.0 does not work with Groovy 2 code using groovy.xml.XmlUtil
> --------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: GROOVY-9664
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-9664
> Project: Groovy
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: XML Processing
> Affects Versions: 3.0.5
> Reporter: Dan Ziemba
> Priority: Major
>
> I am trying to upgrade a project from Groovy 2.5.12 to 3.0.5, but am running
> into trouble with an unmaintained library that is built against Groovy 2.4.1.
> Part of what this library does includes using XmlSlurper to parse an XML
> string, then using XmlUtil to serialize one of the nodes back to an XML
> string.
> This is the simplified example that reproduces the problem:
> {code:groovy}
> import groovy.util.slurpersupport.NodeChild
> import groovy.util.XmlSlurper
> import groovy.xml.XmlUtil
> String xml = '<xml
> xmlns="http://example.com/ns";><abc><xyz>true</xyz></abc></xml>'
> String name = "abc"
> // Note NodeChild and XmlSlurper are both deprecated in Groovy 3
> NodeChild parsed = new XmlSlurper().parseText(xml)
> def node = parsed."$name"
> // Just to show type of 'node'
> println "Node class: ${node.getClass()}"
> println "Node super class: ${node.getClass().getSuperclass()}"
> // Error happens here
> println "Result: ${XmlUtil.serialize(node)}"
> {code}
> This is the expected output when running with Groovy 2.5.12:
> {noformat}
> Node class: class groovy.util.slurpersupport.NodeChildren
> Node super class: class groovy.util.slurpersupport.GPathResult
> Result: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
> <tag0:abc xmlns:tag0="http://example.com/ns";>
> <tag0:xyz>true</tag0:xyz>
> </tag0:abc>
> {noformat}
> The same code fails when running with Groovy 3.0.5:
> {noformat}
> Node class: class groovy.util.slurpersupport.NodeChildren
> Node super class: class groovy.util.slurpersupport.GPathResult
> Error on line 1 column 1
> SXXP0003 Error reported by XML parser: Content is not allowed in prolog.
> groovy.lang.GroovyRuntimeException: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException;
> lineNumber: 1; columnNumber: 1; Content is not allowed in prolog.

> The problem relates to GROOVY-4285. The method
> {{groovy.xml.XmlUtil#asString(groovy.lang.Writable)}} has changed its
> instanceof check to check for {{groovy.xml.slurpersupport.GPathResult}}, but
> the now-deprecated XmlSlurper still returns a sub-class of
> {{groovy.util.slurpersupport.GPathResult}}. So the check fails, leading to
> the same problem described in the old issue GROOVY-4285.
> I see that there is now a deprecated "groovy.util.XmlUtil" class, and the
> code works if changed to that, but that class did not exist before Groovy 3.
> I think "groovy.xml.XmlUtil" should be fixed so that code using the
> deprecated APIs is still able to run unchanged as long as those deprecated
> API continue to exist. Perhaps {{groovy.xml.XmlUtil}} could be changed to
> check for the old version of GPathResult and call {{groovy.util.XmlUtil}} as
> appropriate?
